I installed the DD brake line today and I'm very pleased with how much firmer the front brake is now.  I didn't realize just how weak the OEM flexi-hose made the front brake feel until going with this upgrade.  Inexpensive, quick and easy job; if you haven't done it yet I would urge you to.  Having a front brake that works is a real confidence booster  :-)

Now you need to cultivate your habit of looking in the rear view mirror when you need to make a quick stop.  Most cages cannot stop as quickly as you can with this brake system... :shock:

Good point; I do the 360 scan anyway but a little extra diligence never hurts. It;s scary out there sometimes; my favorite line, wish I coulf take credit for it...

"When I'm riding my bike I'm glad to be alive and when I'm done riding my bike I'm glad to be alive."  Pretty much sums it up for me.
